XUE LIANG DESIGN: LIQUID BAROQUE: This purpose of this collection is to showcase the transformation of up-cycled and unconventional materials into opulent, couture wearables. Liquid Baroque is an exploration of how far the hand can manipulate and challenge the idea of “everyday waste”, questioning how we decide what objects are beautiful and needed and the possibilities of up-cycled materials in design.
